List of Canadian open data catalogs?
 
|
Hi all,
I've started a list of Canadian open data catalogs on datacatalogs.org: http://datacatalogs.org/group/canada It would be great if people in this group might be able to case an eye over it to check for completeness and accuracy. Tracey also said she'd be interested in helping to curate this. E.g. I think there are a few links here which are not yet added: http://datalibre.ca/links-resources/ Anyone interested?

Howdy,
There's already an international set up on BuzzData, with fields for region, license, and URL: I'd recommend contributing to that dataset, or building on top of it. The BD API is out in beta.

Thanks Alex!
I think at least some of the information on BuzzData is based on work that I and others did as part of the Open Knowledge Foundation Working Group on Open Government Data [1]. Back in May we had a meeting on this with many people who were involved in running data catalogs and lists of data catalogs around the world [2]. Since then we've been working really hard to build consensus with key stakeholders in the open data community to have a single list of open data catalogues. This resulted in the release of datacatalogs.org in June 2011 at OKCon in Berlin, which Momoko was at [3]. I think BuzzData wasn't released until July, so I'm pretty sure the datacatalogs.org list predates the one you link to. We spoke to Pete and Momoko about interoperability between CKAN and BuzzData (which at the time they said was very important to them) but nothing has come of this yet. The site is curated by people interested in open data from all over the world. Some of the curators are listed here: http://datacatalogs.org/about The site is being used by various people interested in federating open datasets from around the world. It would be great to have some input from the Canadian open data community to coincide with the Open Government Data Camp (http://ogdcamp.org/) in Warsaw next week!

Jonathan,
I was one of the contributors to that OKF spreadsheet: http://opengovernmentdata.org/data/catalogues/ I came up with the region, etc. columns. Before it was a long list in which you couldn't filter by, e.g. "all Canadian catalogues". I also added catalogues and updated/removed incorrect listings. The BuzzData dataset is probably very close in coverage to datacatalogs.org. It certainly has some that datacatalogs.org doesn't, and vice versa. (It also has statistics bureaus of all countries, but these are not catalogs and should be removed.) How does one edit datacatalogs.org? I tried editing a catalog, but the changes are not reflected in the public site. This discourages me from investing too much time improving your Canadian data catalog descriptors, as I have no idea what the process is. Also, how does one add new catalogs and add catalogs to groups? Anyway, you are missing: North Vancouver http://geoweb.dnv.org/ British Columbia http://www.data.gov.bc.ca/ Mississauga http://www.mississauga.ca/data Niagara Falls http://www.niagarafalls.ca/services/open/default.aspx Burlington http://cms.burlington.ca/Page7429.aspx Also, http://www.opendatalondon.ca/ and http://montrealouvert.net/ do not belong, as there is nothing catalog-ish about them. Better naming conventions would go a long way towards scannability/readability. The site's name is "Data Catalogs". Must the words "Data Catalog" appear in each data catalog title? Likewise, "Open Data"? See you at OGD Camp! James On 2011-10-14, at 3:14 PM, Jonathan Gray wrote:

There was also this one from CTIC and a few more: http://datos.fundacionctic.org/sandbox/catalog/faceted/ We've been working with them and with others to have an intuitive way to browse these and to plug in to a bunch of existing work on data catalog interoperability (e.g. DCAT, federation and harvesting mechanisms between different open source data hubs).

If you let me know your username I'll add you as an admin! datacatalogs.org is intended to be used by numerous official institutions to maintain source lists, so we wanted to have the ability for curation and editorial - as well as enabling anyone to edit. Hence anyone can make edits, but they have to be approved by a moderator before they show up on the site: http://ckan.org/2011/06/20/moderated-edits/ My post to this list was soliciting for people who might be interested in curating the Canadian list of open data catalogs. > Also, how does one add new catalogs and > add catalogs to groups? If we make you an admin, all will be revealed. ;-) We could turn off moderation, but we also want government people to be able use it to maintain official lists (rather than rolling their own on an official website) - so some degree of moderation was a requirement. > Anyway, you are missing: > Ottawa http://www.ottawa.ca/online_services/opendata/index_en.html > North Vancouver http://geoweb.dnv.org/ > Surrey http://www.surrey.ca/city-services/658.aspx > British Columbia http://www.data.gov.bc.ca/ > Mississauga http://www.mississauga.ca/data > Niagara Falls http://www.niagarafalls.ca/services/open/default.aspx > Prince George > http://princegeorge.ca/cityservices/online/odc/Pages/default.aspx > Hamilton http://www.hamilton.ca/ProjectsInitiatives/OpenData/ > Burlington http://cms.burlington.ca/Page7429.aspx > Windsor http://www.citywindsor.ca/003713.asp Fantastic!

Must the words > "Data Catalog" appear in each data catalog title? Likewise, "Open Data"? We're trying to use the official name of the data catalog wherever possible. E.g. saying 'data.gov.uk' rather than 'UK data catalog' or even just 'UK'. We wanted to respect the variation in naming conventions, so - e.g. - when someone looks for 'DataGM' (which is the name of the open data portal for Manchester, UK) they find it. We have metadata on language, location, country, metadata license, and a few other things. We're excited about enabling a whole bunch of geospatial features very soon! http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2011-September/001714.html > See you at OGD Camp!

Alex (and everyone!)
I say work where ever you think the tool is most effective. If that is at datacatalogs.org then do it there, but if it is at Buzzdata, do it there. I think claims to be the canonical place where the community has agreed to work are problematic and counter productive. If people can't work in lots of different places, then we've got big, big problems. More importantly, it is easy to export the data out of buzz and datacatalogs (i believe) so it should be easy to pull in the work from other platforms. I feel like there is a weird battle about platforms here and personally believe it needs to not be based on who convened who, but on what people find useful to their needs.

I think if a representative from the data hub steps forward, then the moderated edits model works. For those data hubs that are "orphaned", I think unmoderated edits may be better for the community. Anyway, something to consider.
I'd be happy to help curate the Canadian list of data hubs. My username is jpmckinney :) Regarding David's point: Buzzdata has been great for working with others to put together a well-thought and nearly-complete CSV list of data catalogs. However, Buzzdata's mission is not to curate data catalogs and its platform supports the curation of one but is not specifically designed for the purpose. datacatalogs.org, on the other hand, does have this mission and is specifically designed for the purpose. So I see some value in choosing to perfect datacatalogs.org over other options. I don't think there's any sort of battle. For people who want to find information about data catalogs, what's important is: correctness, completeness, ease of use. datacatalogs.org is trying to do this, in a way that Buzzdata and others are not (you can't search inside Buzzdata's datasets without downloading them, for example). The problem with every comprehensive list so far is that it eventually goes stale. Based on the about page at datacatalogs.org, it looks like its authors have convinced all the other list-makers (ePSIplatform, CivicCommons, CTIC, OKF, etc.) to work together on one list. Consolidation is a good thing in this case. Regarding what name to use for data catalogs, I'd be inclined to put the official name in the description, and a more standard name in the title. We'd have to do a survey to know, but my guess is most people know what jurisdiction they are interested in, and fewer know the local name of that jurisdiction's catalog. Oddly, the page now states that there are 18 catalogs in the group, but it only lists 17 (it is missing Vancouver). Also, North Vancouver seems not to have been added.

I like your thinking James!
I keep datalibre just because it is a local canadian one and am happy to add to the oknf one with you as well. I think there are 20 though in Canada, plus the feds and BC. I'll check more carefully tomorrow.

Re: List of Canadian open data catalogs?

In reply to this post by David Eaves
David,
Absolutely. :-) My post on datacatalogs.org was *defending* the site against the suggestion that we should all just use the dataset on BuzzData - as it already had a list of open data hubs on it before we got started (which simply isn't true!). Hence the stuff about there being existing work on datacatalogs.org. I wasn't arguing that because we were first, or because we have most people on board, that people shouldn't use anything else! While generally I understand the stuff about working in separate places and merging later - for this to work in this case the person who originally posted the dataset on BuzzData (Momoko? James?) would have to drop the NC restriction - as that prevents it being pulled back into initiatives like datacatalogs.org, which is openly licensed. That would be really cool. Then perhaps we could look at ways of comparing and exchanging data between the two. Also datacatalogs.org was created in response to the issue that several people *were* working on multiple lists - and the merging never happened. Hence we had different lists, some of which were more complete in different areas than others. The difficult bit was not so much technological as social - to get everyone on the same page. I worked really hard to convene representatives from all over the world to help to maintain their respective bits. As I recall I even asked your advice for Canadian government contacts, which resulted in Sylvain Latour being added to represent Canada. ;-) All the best, Jonathan On Sat, Oct 15, 2011 at 12:40 AM, David Eaves <[hidden email]> wrote: > Alex (and everyone!) > > I say work where ever you think the tool is most effective.

For those data hubs that are "orphaned", I think unmoderated edits may be better for the community. Anyway, something to consider. You're right that we do need to find a balance, just in case things slip through the cracks. I also noticed that we were getting spam - so we need to think about this too. Lets talk more in Warsaw! > I'd be happy to help curate the Canadian list of data hubs. My username is jpmckinney :) Excellent - you are now an administrator. Shall I add you to the 'about' page? If so pop me what affiliation you'd like me to add off list! http://datacatalogs.org/about > Regarding David's point: Buzzdata has been great for working with others to put together a well-thought and nearly-complete CSV list of data catalogs. However, Buzzdata's mission is not to curate data catalogs and its platform supports the curation of one but is not specifically designed for the purpose. datacatalogs.org, on the other hand, does have this mission and is specifically designed for the purpose. So I see some value in choosing to perfect datacatalogs.org over other options. I don't think there's any sort of battle. For people who want to find information about data catalogs, what's important is: correctness, completeness, ease of use. datacatalogs.org is trying to do this, in a way that Buzzdata and others are not (you can't search inside Buzzdata's datasets without downloading them, for example). The problem with every comprehensive list so far is that it eventually goes stale. Based on the about page at datacatalogs.org, it looks like its authors have convinced > all the other list-makers (ePSIplatform, CivicCommons, CTIC, OKF, etc.) to work together on one list. Consolidation is a good thing in this case. > > Regarding what name to use for data catalogs, I'd be inclined to put the official name in the description, and a more standard name in the title. We'd have to do a survey to know, but my guess is most people know what jurisdiction they are interested in, and fewer know the local name of that jurisdiction's catalog. Oddly, the page now states that there are 18 catalogs in the group, but it only lists 17 (it is missing Vancouver). Also, North Vancouver seems not to have been added. Fixed - North Vancouver and Vancouver have been added.
